Devastated to hear that Giles Peaker @nearlylegal has passed away.
He supported Ledbury residents tirelessly, helping us secure safe homes & later gave his time freely to @TowerBlocksUK to help advise tenants on their rights. A huge loss. Thoughts with his family and colleagues.

Exclusive (and very worrying):
More than 200 blocks around England built in a way which makes them potentially vulnerable to collapse still have a gas supply and may not have had strengthening work

Our sympathies to Grenfell United as they navigate the governments decision to demolish Grenfell Tower. It’s vital the voices of families & survivors are heard. We support the call for meaningful consultation, recognising the importance of honouring the memories of those lost.

Residents in high-rise homes made with pre-fab concrete panels have told BBC London they fear for the safety of their buildings.
They say they're living with cracks in the walls and ceilings that have led to water leaks and mould.

🚨 Southwark Council have issued Notice To Quit to a #LedburyEstate tenant being decanted from the towers. She refused a studio flat as it was too small for her & her school aged child. The council are now resorting to intimidation tactics in what was an already dire situation

Homeless families across England are living in disused office blocks being used by councils who have run out of alternative housing. Around 10,000 such flats are thought to be of such poor condition they could never be sold. Investigation in @thetimes

The Grenfell Inquiry report isn't just a story of a complacent government. Read it carefully and a story emerges of one which routinely covers up the truth

Spoke about the Grenfell Inquiry report - and what to expect from any criminal prosecutions.
At 17 minutes, slightly longer than my TV stuff. And more of an unscripted chat rather than a polished podcast.
But hopefully gives a picture of why justice is still years away…
'Grenfell: What next and why are families still waiting for justice?'
In today's episode, having covered the disaster since the outbreak of the fire, ITV London Reporter @RagsMartel tells @yasminbodalbhai what you need to know...

Yes, new legal changes increase regulation of social housing providers, but these findings are really damning and I think the report really should have said something (a lot of things) about how to ensure tenants left in this position can push back:
